If you have not heard about these devastating events you can read news articles here, or a personal account here.
Quite simply, this post is a call to all lovers of handmade goods to pull together as a community and help out where you can.
Please, visit the Handmade Help blog for a full list of information on how you can help out. There are so many crafty and non-crafty ways to provide assistance and support.
Many many BrisStylers have been making goods to go to victims of the fires, many are donating proceeds of their sales to the Red Cross, Wildlife Victoria, and other assisting agencies, and others are helping out wherever they can. Please join us by doing whatever you can.
Be well,
The BrisStyle Team

Bec, thank you so much for this timely post. I have mailed off a parcel today to the woman organising the Rainbow Comfort Packs. I know it's only a tiny grain of sand, but it's the best I could do. Like everyone else, I'm heart-broken.
Nice work Bec ... I have put these links up on my blog too and will be committing items to auction also.
You rock
